Guys, if two retro characters were chosen, how would you decide it?

Having recent things for it. Ex: Takamaru - Nintendo Land
Japan/US-Only

If I was to choose, i'd go with Takamaru and Mike Jones. Just to go with one being of Japan only, while the other is US only, to compliment one another for the audience. In being, who the heck that? But yeah, how would you go at it?

how about neither, since that's not how characters are chosen

I'd decided it based on how awesome I could make the moveset. Do I go for Mach Rider since he's basically a blank slate, or shall I go with another more defined character?

Do I want to really make people want to say wtf? How about I make a character out of nintendo's peripherals. Virtual Boy head, Vitality Sensor torso, 64DD butt, etc.

Nationalist. Europe isn't a race, nor is Japanese or American.

Your joke didn't go over my head ;)

Thank you! This is all I wanted.

Honestly, everytime I look at Mach Rider, I think Ghost Rider with guns. Haha. But i'm sure things can wonderfully for him, if they really thought about his stuff.

Captain Falcon is essentially Mach Rider in a car.

I did check the weekly updates on that miiverse site today, I was just curious if we had anything else good this week. :p

I see we had a mario kart 8 direct?
Click to expand...

Yeah, we did. We finally know full roster and full tracks since they already show last 5 tracks. It was pretty good Direct for me at least.

A man made out of tetris pieces (square block for head, L blocks for legs & feet, Z/S for arms/hands, straight piece for torso & T for waist) & Captain N.

I don't see it as nonsense. Look at the math.

Even if by your (what I would call very low) estimates put the game at 2 million sold (Smash is constantly in an upward sales trend however no matter the number of consoles). At 2 million sold, that'd be say half potential buyers of up to 4 controllers.

$40 million is nothing to scoff at.
Click to expand...

yeah ok
this game would require something higher than an 80% attach rate to catch Brawl's sales, that's never going to happen

I'd go with either your suggestion due to having a similar idea on its execution for a long time or Takamaru & Lip to work the "Captain Rainbow reunion tour" with those two and Little Mac in the roster. In either situation, it's more because of the moveset you could bring to the table with each.

Mike Jones: Athletic junior varsity pitcher with a psychically controlled yo-yo.
Takamaru: Based samurai. Also godlike projectile game and ground speed.
Lip: Puzzle game heroine and an outlet for a play style revolving around "position control".

It was an amazing Direct for me as well.
I'm so happy Nintendo is back to being goofy again.
Click to expand...

Oh yeah. Thanks for the reminder.

NeoRice, we also got E3 preview trailer from Nintendo. I think it's title is Nintendo Play; so basically they announced few informations for E3 and Smash Tournament.
 
Also why do you say US Only rather than NA Only. Why do you ignore your neighbours Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Jamaica, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago the list goes on. You double racists!

The Mario Kart 8 direct was weird. Really weird.
Click to expand...

I thought it was hilarious. I enjoyed it a lot more than the previous Directs. I love Iwata but let these guys handle the Directs. Iwata should only come out for important announcements and such, but info Directs like this one don't need to be handled by him.

By law of popular voice actors

Steven blum
Jon Dimaggio
JYB
Nolan North
And Jennifer Hale must now also be worked in smash 4 some how.

Jon Dimaggio voices wolf, and he is just jake the dog.
Click to expand...
Needs more Lowenthal but otherwise I approve of this. We should contact Sakurai about this.

There's a beautifully insensitive joke hidden in there somewhere.
 
John Dimaggio as Wolf?

Almost makes me wish he uses his Jake voice for Smash 4.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. Offensively hes about as good as Fox is in Melee. The reasons why he seems overall is.
1. Hes easier for be really good with than Fox.
2. Fox has able to be combo-ed easy, so his high offense can be viewed to be balanced by his "poor" defense
3. Metaknight doesn't have to play in a way that creates an aesthetic that viewers would enjoy. Aka good character plays cheaply thus he must really be cheap.
Click to expand...
You're comparing a Brawl character with a Melee character. Fox is actually competing against other characters with similar offensive ability and is in a game where his weaknesses matter.

I'd probably go with a combination of unique and if they have been recently brought back. Anyone that can bring something fresh to the game will be welcomed. And I agree with Takamaru and Mike being good choices. There are characters I can see making a comeback through smash easily.

You can say the exact same thing about the Killer Instinct arcade stick. Who would buy a $499 console with a $199 controller? To play one fighting game that was never really all that popular?

Evidently, enough people that the thing exists. I don't think a $50 Wii U Pro Controller + that is shaped like a GC controller is as ridiculous an idea as you are making it sound.

Wii was an anomaly. The audience that bought all of those Wii ___ and Just Dance games are gone, as we can already see by the god awful performance of the Wii ____ games on Wii U. The audience that ballooned Mario Kart and NSMB sales to ridiculous numbers are gone as well. Smash will be the best selling game on the Wii U, like it was on the Gamecube. Maybe a close second to Mario Kart, but no lower.

Like someone said, a GameCube controller for the the Wii U would only happen if Nintendo starts releasing GameCube games on the VC. Other than that, you better get used to the Pro Controller (& if they make a wired controller, it'll likely be of the Pro Controller since they're still in production, unlike the GameCube controller).
 
Problem is that Sakurai mentioned that he want to add more old characters but it don't meant that they had to be retro characters. Maybe I'm being literally but we'll see.

I'm fine with that. So far, we have a lot of new characters that are either very popular or have made an impact on Nintendo's success, which is great. But I can see Sakurai adding one or two old/unique characters to redesign and surprise us. well maybe.

I'd take Mach Rider and Lip from Panel De Pon.

Also, isn't Mach Rider a girl? What was with Nintendo and pulling "It's a boy!, but not really." in games back then? o_O

Are you talking about this?

People assume the character is female. Then it could be your award for completing the game. Who knows! Lol.

If it turned out that the Mach Rider is indeed female, that would be amazing. Hah.

I want to play as an Excitebiker who is constantly on his bike. All of his attacks would be bike tricks.

This would be my dream character. Won't happen, but would be pretty darn awesome. I can see him (or her since it's relevant to discussion) doing circular burn outs, wheelies, trail/side braking, handlebar tricks, clotheslines, etc etc.
